3 Real Madrid players who are likely to remain at the club following Ronaldo's exit

#1 Marco Asensio

Next Cristiano Ronaldo?

It's quite difficult to cement a place in the star-studded Real Madrid squad, and Asensio has faced the same last season.

Despite managing to dazzle the audience coming in as a Super-Sub, thrashing the opponents whenever he got the chance, he was dwarfed by Real Madrid superstars.

A player of Asensio's calibre certainly needs playing time, and there are many clubs interested in signing him, but now is not the right time for Real Madrid to negotiate a deal.

A huge sect of the fans is unquestionably disappointed with Real Madrid letting Ronaldo go, a player who steadied their ship despite flaws being aplenty.

Asensio showed glimpses of his ability when he managed to form a lethal, formidable duo with Marcelo. The duo took the opponents out of the equation and helped Real Madrid register many crucial victories.

Asensio will evolve as a game-changer and one of the best, in the near future, with appropriate experience. All he needs is regular playing time, and with Ronaldo now out of the camp, he may get it.

Similar to that of Bale, Real Madrid can't afford to lose Asensio at this moment, He is one of the best youngsters in the world and can certainly take Real Madrid to another level if adequate support is provided.
